One
increasingly popular method of doing online promotion is with
video marketing. When
you look
at how easy it is to make and upload a video and understand how popular
videos
are, you will easily understand why YouTube video marketing has become
so
popular.
Digital
camcorders are no longer so expensive and even relatively inexpensive
digital
cameras come with video capability. Most new mobile phones support
video
technology. Additionally, you can simply use a cheap web cam on the top
of your
computer.
Once
you have transferred your video to your computer, the process of
uploading it
to the Internet is very simple and straightforward. It is simply a
matter of
going to YouTube.com or video.google.com and following the simple
instructions.
In
the case of YouTube.com, the steps are as follows
1.
Log in to YouTube or create an account.
2.
Click the Upload button at the top right of the YouTube front page.
3.
Enter the title of your video, a brief description, some keywords,
category and
tags. Choose whether your video is private or public, and then choose
the
sharing options.
4.
Click the "Upload a video" button at the bottom of the page.
5.
Click the "browse" button to choose a video from your hard-drive.
6.
Now click "Upload video". Once it has successfully uploaded you'll
see a message that reads, "thank-you your upload is complete."
That's
it!
The
process of making a video is also much easier nowadays. All you really
need to
do is turn on your movie camera, sit in front of it and start talking!
Don't
worry about appearing professional. This informal approach is used by
many of
the top Internet marketers.
Researching
what to talk about is also very easy nowadays. It is simply a matter of
hopping
over to YouTube.com or video.google.com to see what others are doing so
as to
get some good ideas for your own YouTube video marketing.
When
you make your video, keep it short and sweet. People like their
information or
entertainment in short, sharp doses. Also bear in mind that the maximum
length
of videos on Google and YouTube is only ten minutes.
So say everything clearly
and
concisely. Don't
hem and haw or pad out your sentences and go round in
circles. Get your message across and make it short
and sweet by
focusing on a single message in each video. If you want to put out
training
videos, break everything down into a series of single-point five minute
lessons.
The
beauty of using YouTube video marketing is that videos can be easily
embedded
into blogs, websites, social networking sites and so on. If your videos
are
good, they might "go viral" as people start posting them all across
the Internet. That is the beauty of viral YouTube video marketing!
I wish you the
best
of success,
